How to fix "OS X Lion user's custom preferences are not retained after reboots"?

    How to quickly fix "many of user's custom preferences from within OS X Lion 10.7.x and/or MtLion 10.8.x are not retained after Mac reboots and/or log-offs"?

     If many of the user’s custom preferences from within OS X Lion 10.7.x and/or Mountain Lion 10.8.x are not retained on Mac after reboots and/or log-offs, then implement this following QUICK FIX procedure:
Login to user’s OS X login profile… access & select the Finder pull-down menu Go… next select Library (just user’s Library only available when holding-down the Option key here within OS X Lion + MtLion)… find-select-and move the Preferences folder out from the overall user’s Library to the user’s Desktop area for temporary safe keeping.  Then log-off user and/or reboot Mac… log-in as user, and reset all user’s custom preferences (System Preferences, Dock icons, etc. [OS X system now recreating all user’s login profile preferences]) according to their previous Desktop setup.  Finally reboot after making all new user preferences setting changes… log-in again as user, and check to ensure that all user custom preferences now stays retained.  If all OK, then you may move the corrupted Preferences folder from the user’s Desktop area to the Trash for final deletion.
*NOTE: Is this above-written QUICK FIX completely acceptable to Apple's OS X Lion + MtLion troubleshooting standards?  So far this solution appears to have fixed a recent iMac user's issues with custom preferences.

    Make sure that you allow pages to choose their colors and that you haven't enabled High Contrast in the Accessibility settings.

  • Netboot user profiles are not persitent after reboot

    Hello,
    we are migrated our environment to Mountain Lion Server and Netboot Clients also with Mountain Lion. User profiles are located on the Server.
    If Users change some profile settings like default browser or standart application for opening files, these settings are persistent until the user reboot the machine. After that, all settings reverted to default. User permissions looks like it should. Also if some settings would be changed inside Safari proberties like search machine or startup page, these settings will be stay after the reboot. :-( Some other not.
    Any sugestions where i have to look?
    Thanks and regards.
    Joris

    Hey Brian,
    we use Netboot ... yes but every User which is log in to the netboot client get an own Network Home Directory mapped.
    I know that changes on the OS not stay persistant inside the Netboot OS. But changes on the UserProfiles, like default Browser or somthing else, are also reseted after the reboot. I think they should saved in the UserProfiles and stay persistant if the user log in again after the reboot?
    Regards

  • How to block the 'save' function when the required fields are not filled?

    Hello, Everyone
    I am new for this scripting. My question is:
    How to block the 'save' function when the required fields are not filled?
    I designed a PDF file with some required fields and I do not want the user to save the document until all required fields are filled. My idea is to write some scripts in Willsave method like:
    if (this.getField("Family Name").value == ""){
    app.alert('You should fill the Family Name field firstly!');
    But I do not think it works as finally the document is saved after all.
    Please help me on that!
    So much thanks.

    Dear Randybearwang,
    I am a Rocky myself and I know how though it is to establish some good codes. Since I created some forms with validation options myself I might have a code for you. The code also creates an alert box (Yes/no option) if the user chooses yes the form will be validatet, if he chooses "no" the alert window will be closed.If  everything is filled out correctly the form will be saved otherwise the textbox will be higlighted and gets focus.
    If you need further assistance , please let me know
    Have fun with the code.
    P.s I don´t know how to upload the "PDF" document. I wrote you an email, please get back to me if you still need the file.

  • I receive an error stating user name and password are not valid on my ipad and iphone 3Gs when attempting to load email from my icloud account. When I log onto icloud from my Mac, it wont load the email either.

    One day, my ipad and iphone pick up my emails (.mac account) from icloud just fine. the next day, I recieved error messages that say my user name and password are not accurate. I removed the icloud program on both devices and added it back on to both devices and get the same message. I logged into icloud from my Mac and while I can log in, it times out when I select email and wont load the email there either. Any Suggestons?

    I am having the same problem; it started about 24-36 hours ago.
    I know my ID/PW combo are correct because I can access all other aspects of iCloud except mail.
    iPhone -- returns incorrect ID / Password
    iPad -- Same
    Mail.app on Mac -- returns incorrect password error
    icloud.com -- allows me to log in and use all functions accept mail.  When I try to use mail it stays on a white screen for about 60 seconds then returns a dialogue box that indicates a server error.
    I contacted Apple and they placed my iCloud account into something called "Troubleshooting" mode.  They generated a new strong password and sent it on to "Engineering."
    I suspect there are a small number ofo users like you who are affected with the same problem I am.  Too small a number for it to be reported as an outtage.  I suggest you call Apple and open a case to have your mail investigaged.
    Hope this helps...

  • Any time I open Safari i get a popup for myvdrive? why and how do I stop this? yes my safari preferences are checked that popups should be turned off.

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you boot, and again when you log in.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
    After testing, reboot as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

  • Lion installer does not start after reboot

    When I run the lion installer App, it does its thing, copying files for ~3 minutes,
    then reboots the computer.
    After the computer reboots, Instead of the expected 'install' phase, I am directly returned to the login screen, exacly as a normal boot, and 'About this mac' confirms I am still running 10.6.8
    One of my collegues tried extracting the dmg from the installer app, and turned it into a bootable usb disk
    Booting from this produced a grey screen, with the timer animation at the bottom, and a grey barred circle just above center.
    After half an hour without any indication of progress or disk activity on this screen, I hard-power-off'd the machine, and powered on, straight back to the normal 10.6.8 login screen.
    My mac is an early 2011 13" macbook pro.
    Can someone please tell me why lion refuses to install, or how to find out? and how to fix it?
    Thank you
    Nick.

    I just spotted the following in the console:
    Install Mac OS X Lion[368] Error loading /Users/nick/Desktop/Install Mac OS X Lion.app/Contents/PlugIns/IACoreStorage.IABundle/Contents/MacOS/IACoreStorage:  dlopen(/Users/nick/Desktop/Install Mac OS X Lion.app/Contents/PlugIns/IACoreStorage.IABundle/Contents/MacOS/IACoreStorage, 265): Library not loaded: /usr/lib/libcsfde.dylib
      Referenced from: /Users/nick/Desktop/Install Mac OS X Lion.app/Contents/PlugIns/IACoreStorage.IABundle/Contents/MacOS/IACoreStorage

    Does this mean a file is missing from my installer?
